My Tourer has had a noise since I've had it which is driving me nuts slowly. The best way I can describe it is this:
Imagine that someone has wedged an empty aerosol spray paint can under the front passenger seat. As it's empty, the ball bearing inside the can is still when at rest, but when the car accelerates / decelerates / changes direction the ball is moving along the inside surface of the can.
I've looked everywhere and sadly there isn't a can, either under any of the seats or in the glovebox. It doesn't sound right for it to be door glass pieces stuck in the bottom of the door so I've ruled that out.
It looks as though there's a flat('ish) moulding that comes from the centre console to underneath the front seats, possibly a heater blower channel and I wondered if somehow something round had got into the open end and now can't get out so it's rattling around. I may have to pull the seat out to have a closer look (if only to give it a shake !)
Anyone else had this ?
Cheers
